Welcome to my little farm!

It´s harvest time on the farm! Therefore, the farmers have much work to do: In the garden the vegetables need to be harvested as well as the wheat on the soil. But also the ripe apples are waiting. Why did the old tractor have to break down just now? Fortunately, it could be repaired directly so that the harvest can go on. Thanks to the workbench in the barn!

Oh, I forgot the animals! Somebody needs to look after the cow in the barn and the horses…

I think everybody is happy when the day is over, they get a delicious meal from grandma and finally can lay down in their cozy bed (or hay 😉).

The Design process:

In my holydays I love it to live on a farm because I enjoy the country life as well as the pure nature. It´s so relaxing and a change to the daily life. But you can also get active by helping the farmer in the barn.

Unfortunately, LEGO® doesn´t have an appropriate detailed farm for adults in their portfolio (except the 41721 for girls and the 60346 for kids). So, I decided to build a farm scene with all important details and give it a try in the BDP. It was a little challenging for me to include all those details in the model. Because on the one hand, I wanted that the farm could “work”. On the other hand, it shouldn´t be a giant, expensive model in the end which is to big to be displayed on a shelf.

I decided to build the barn in the typical American style which everybody should recognize. But the farmhouse is a bit more inspirated by German farms in the alps, where I often spend my holydays.

Moreover, I tried to build as realistic as possible. Therefore, I used some uncommon building technics, e.g. for the trees and plants. Additionally, it was important for me that everything fits on the ground plate and that there is enough space in the barn for the tractor.

A hard part was to fit the roofs perfectly in the right angles to avoid ugly gaps.
